Up From the Lunar Surface
Written by Nicole B. Adkins
Directed by Jeff Goode
August 11-22, 2010
Synopsis:
In this surreal comedy, Susannah isn't getting any younger, and her life
appears to have capsized -- but as long as the brie arrives on time, the
peasants don’t frighten the guests with their potato-sack dresses, and
no one drowns themselves in the punch bowl, everything is sure to turn
out all right...
